Beavis can you spare a dime?

exponentialdecay.co.uk is currently undergoing a redesign to make it more mutable. RSS will form a part of that change so look for new stories to appear here in favor of less relevant news updates acting as deadweight over on the main website. come back soon. --rs--

Theory...

it might seem a little OTT writing so much in an RSS feed in favor of blogging up your main domain, but i guess i find that the beauty of RSS feeds. check out kotaku.com for their RSS feed. while they copy all their main content to RSS they do manage to convey most, if not all of a story through the feed cutting down on unecessary click-throughs and separating the wheat from the chaff for those just interested in the news. nice idea. --rs--

Googlebot where are you..?

Googlebot, c'mon man, it has been a frigging month, crawl my site dude! - seriously, there might not be a lot going on here but at least take note of some of the new HTML elements I'm using and the RSS feed, RSS man! Peace. --rs--

beta...

exponentialdecay.co.uk || beta is up and running. The site is an exact duplicate of the main website, this is to exhibit the use of XML and XSL technologies to output a valid XHTML document. In time the same technologies are going to be used to output this site in numerous other formats including text only.

Have a look at the page. Overall it has ported fairly well. In future the XML can be modified to be much more generic, thus allowing the transformation to be much simpler. I reckon I can get the amount of code used down to about 1/4 of its current usage. Designing for XML/XSLT in the first place will be a big step toward achieving that. --rs--
